With a growing demand for registered nurses who are competent in the technical and highly complex field of acute care nursing, the University of Melbourne has developed the Graduate Certificate in Nursing Practice, with specialisations in cardiorespiratory, or renal nursing.

Offered for the first time in January 2018, this course has been designed to provide registered nurses working in hospital settings an opportunity to develop a nursing specialisation while enhancing their career.

Delivered online with a clinical component, you will have the opportunity to develop highly sought-after clinical knowledge and practical skills while working in your area of specialty. You can also personalise your qualification to match your practice and career aspirations.
